Crosby, Stills & Nash to tour Asia

It's official. Crosby, Stills & Nash have announced dates in Japan, the Philippines, and Singapore in March, followed by their only U.S. tour dates for 2015 in April and May.

The upcoming trek will mark the first time the group has performed in Japan in nearly two decades, and it will be their first time in both the Philippines and Singapore.

The Japan tour will swing through Tokyo (with back-to-back shows at Toyko International Forum Hall A), Osaka (at Osaka Festival Hall), Fukuoka (at the Fukuoka Sun Palace Hall), and Nagoya (at Nagoya Shi Kokaido). They will then move on to play the Araneta Coliseum in the Philippines and The Star Theatre in Singapore.

The U.S. tour will kick off April 29 in Lincoln, Nebraska at the Lied Center and is scheduled to wrap May 20 at the Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford, Connecticut. This run will also feature two stops at the State Theatre in New Brunswick, New Jersey. There will also be two nights scheduled at the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, New York.

A press release from the trio states they will perform songs from their extensive catalogue of material, as well as new material from each member. Once again, CSN will be accompanied by its backing band featuring Shane Fontayne on guitar, Steve DiStanislao on drums, Kevin McCormick on bass, James Raymond on keyboards and Todd Caldwell on organ.

Following in the tradition of its previous tours, CSN will be donating $1 of every ticket sold to charity.

Talk about a folk rock supergroup! That's what you get when you combine the likes of David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash, whose first album was released in 1969. Since then, these guys have been known for their tight vocal harmonies and continued influence on popular music, utilizing blues and even jazz music to widen their already broad appeal.

If you want to know about the lasting impression these guys have made, just consider this. Each man has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame two times – once with Crosby, Stills & Nash, and a second time with The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, and The Hollies, respectively. They have also been inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame, with the honor recognizing the men as a group, and also as individual solo artists. Those are some pretty hefty accolades, and well-deserved for a trio that played just their second live performance together in front of half a million people. (How's that for some CS&N trivia? The venue: Woodstock)

Some of this group's most well-known singles are their early hits – "Woodstock," "Teach Your Children," "Our House" and "Ohio," just to name a few. In the early 1970's they also became known for their contentious relationships, with oft-added member of the group Neil Young traveling separately from the trio. But as a quartet, they were also unmatched. Their first album as CSN&Y sold more than 7 million copies, and in 1977 when Crosby, Still and Nash regrouped without Young, it was for the quadruple-platinum "CSN," proving that these guys were a hit, no matter what.

Though members of the band went their separate ways – especially in the 90's – they would re-group at the turn of the century to release "Looking Forward." It was followed by the band's first tour since 1974, and they reunited with Young again in 2006 for the "Freedom of Speech" tour to promote his new album.
In early March 2013, Crosby revealed that he and Nash have four brand new, never heard before songs to perform on an upcoming tour. It begins May 1 at the Lincoln Center/Frederick P. Rose Hall in New York City on May 3.
